A SONG OF woR
A charming tale was that of old, For lazy folks bv Doets told

A charming tale was that of old, For lazy folks by poets told, That 'tis Love that makes the world 20 round-.
 Round and round,
 With never sound;
 Over and over
 From Sydney to Dover Here we go. there we go, till the brain reels, Now on our heads and now on our heels: But we know it is not love at all That keeps a-going this cosmic ball;
 For oh! "Tis Work that makes the world go round. And Love only oils the wheels! Then prate no more of ''primal curse:', With Eden kept, things might have been worse For 'tis Work that makes the world go round!
 So day by day
 We'll work away.
 Flowing and sowing,
 Reaping and moving, Spinning and weaving and getting of meals. Forging and building and laying of keels: Slaves end prisoners labor; free men disdain Aword so fraught with crime and pain.
 Yet oh! 'Tis hard to make the world go round If Love does not oil the wheels! What know they of rest who never work, But the duties of manhood and womanhooe shirk: 'Tis Work that makes the world go roundl
 When work is done
 Iris time for fun,
 Father and mother,
 Sister and brother !. Baby and all, with the merriest peals Greeting the joys home life reveals Days work brings peace and rest at night: For work means duty. and duty is right;
 And ohl Tis easy to make the world go round If Love will but oil the wheelsl

Signed Articles and ..In.ide Men,

An objection to signed articles is that nearly one-haf of the newspaper men do but very little writing. The problem is: How shall these men get credit for their worka I mean, of course, credit outside the office. A man does get credit in the office, whether he signs or not. The main advantage in sign ing is in having it known that you are the author. The first article being good, by gen. eral sympathy people will more readily read the second one over your signature, and your value increases, of course if you do good work. But when a man writes an article on a plan mapped out for him, using ideas furnished by man who sits in the office and never gets any public credit, what can be done to equalize the thinga If anybody can devise the means by which that man can get credit outside the office, should like to hear it. c.

Knight darted on the nearest, who was by the fence, and as he was bringing the gun down to charge, Knight seized it with his left hand and struck it's owner so pow erfully with his right that the gun was instantly released. Brown had dealt with another in an effective manner, and re-en- forcements for the prisoners were now coming; but two other guards, who were close to the gate. instead of standing their ground, ran out and raised great outcry. Wilson, Dorsey and others threw some loose bricks, which happened to be handy, after them, and prepared to charge out through the gate, when Knight heard the running of the reserve guard up the road, and, finging away his musket, gave the word, "Boys, we've got to get out of this;'' then, hurrying through the hall and down to the lower corner of the yard, was in moment to the top of the fence. being the first over, but was closely fol lowed by the others.

Yale Wins Her First Game At the Y ale
 Field Yesterday.
 Yale played her first game of the season at the Yale Field yesterday with the Bridge ports and succeeded in defeating them in an uninteresting game by a score of 9 to 0. But five innings were played on account of dark ness, the game not having commenced until 4:3O. The Bridgeports played with but little snap and showed lack of concerted playing. The Yale nine on the other hand had the advantage of practice in the gym. and played quite well considering that it was their first game. The new players showed up very we'll. McConkey covered second base very we'll and accepted all the chances given. The outfeld proved itself very strong not withstanding the fact that both Brigham and Shepard of last years outfeld were absent. In batting Kellogg led, making two singles and bringikg in the two runs made. Spencer also covered himself with glory by making a two base hit and bringing Kellogg in, with two men out. Considerable time was lost in getting to an amicable settlement as to the new rules as to strikes and fouls, but with 8 competent umpire such can be renedied. The hines were ss follows: Bridgeport Wilson c.; Lovett D.; Cox s.s.; McGuirk 1 l.. Shannon b.; Jones 3 b.; Murphy l. f.; Munger c. f.; Brown r. f.

The New Mission Chapel of Calvary
 RaptasG Church.


 The new and attractive chapel of Calvary Baptist church Howard avenue is pros- pering beyond the expectations of those who have it in charge. Already the Sunday school numbers about one hundred and forty and this number does not lessen the attend ance at Calvary Sunday school, which is up to the highest figures, the same as ever, there having been last Sunday at the latter school all of five hundred in attendance. The branch school draws from the thinly settled neighborhood in which it is located and it's success is already assured. The prayer meetings and preaching meetings that are held at the church are also well attended. A Ladies' Aid society has been formed at the chapel, and it's first work will be to raise funds with which to carpet the chapel, and from the enterprise of the ladies having the matter in charge there is doubt that the money for the carpets will be forthcom- ing and that at an early date.

A Wonderful Operation.

The Ceesarian operation, one of the most difficult and dangerous known to surgery, was successfully performed by Professor William T. Lusk of Bellevue hospital, New York city, on March 23d. The patient was woman who came to the hospital of her own accord, and expressed her willingness to undergo it, a- there was no other way to save the life of her unborn child and perhaps her own. She was strong and healthy, and after consulta- tion the attempt was made. After the most careful preparations the patient was placed nnder the influence of an anaesthetic. A lOngi- tudinal incision was then made, and through this the child was removed. All the severed tissues were joined, and the sutures left for four days. Both mother and child are now in excellent health. It is said to be 100 years at least since the CRsarian operation has been nerformed SO successfully.
